IUCRVAL - Validation of CIF's

IUCRVAL is a program for validation
of (small molecule but not MM) CIF's using the algorithms published in the IUCr document
IUCr
Validation Procedures.
These are the part of the
criteria for publication in Acta Cryst C. Other journal
are less stringent, but this checking procedure is very useful in all cases. Almost
all the checks indicated in the above IUCr document are implemented in
IUCRVAL, and users
should refer to this document for the exact meaning of each test. The validity
of each data name may also be checked against
CIF_CORE.DIC. the current CIF
dictionary for small molecules. The program is also incorporated into the
WinGX program system.

The program IUCRVAL is supplied as the
source-code and as pre-compiled executables for Windows and several UNIX platforms.
It is written in standard Fortran77. For further information and
installation instructions, see the
README file.

IUCRVAL is provided free of charge
for academic, scientific, educational and non-commercial users only,
provided its use is acknowledged.

IMPORTANT NOTE : This stand-alone version is
an unsupported archive version which is frozen in its current state. The
WinGX version is the only one which will be updated from now on.
